Hernando County Animal Control's Friends

Hernando County Animal Control's Friends WE ARE NOT HERNANDO COUNTY EMPLOYEES! ANY dog or cat you save will give all the others more time If you aren't saying something productive, DO NOT SAY IT.

IF YOU PERSISTENTLY POST NEGATIVE COMMENTS ASKING WHY WE AREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE ANIMALS IN NEED YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM THIS PAGE. We are all volunteers who work our tails off to get every animal out of this shelter. We also ALL have jobs to support our own families and rescue animals. Just because you do not see postings stating our every move does NOT mean we are letting things slip by.

Do not take it upon yourself to intervene... If we say we are sending someone for an eval, lining up a home, arranging transport, etc, WE WILL GET IT DONE. Having people ask us why we "aren't answering people's posts" or "ignoring interested people" does not make our lives and jobs any easier. WE ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OF HERNANDO COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. We are a small private rescue group who has set aside our initial priority for a much more pressing situation: SAVING THE INNOCENT LIVES THAT ARE THREATENED TO BE TAKEN EVERY DAY AT HERNANDO COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. Animal Services continuously receives friendly, adorable animals who need loving homes. The animals come from various sources such as strays picked up from the street, or animals from private homes where the owner can or will no longer care for them. Many of them have been neglected, abandoned, or abused, but they can and do rebound to become loving family pets.

Hard to believe this big smile is still sitting in a shelter kennel, but Jessica is officially our longest resident right now.

She has a great, goofy personality, plenty of love to give, and is just a really solid dog. Come spend a few minutes with Jessica ๐Ÿฉท
_________

Jessica is 5-6 years old, likely housebroken, knows basic commands & does great at events with adults and children. She may need to be an only dog or sheโ€™s dog selective so bring your pup in with you to meet her!

Adoptions lately! ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has opened their hearts and homes to a shelter pet recently. Every single adoption means the world to us and the absolute universe to them.

Cheers to new beginnings and happily ever afters! โœจ

Sometimes the one you want is waiting behind a kennel door.
Take a peek at some of the amazing dogs currently waiting for a family of their own.

This 6 year old lady walks beautifully on a leash and prefers her adventures slow and scenic, stopping to sniff all the important things along the way. She loves wading in the kiddie pool, carrying around her favorite stuffie, and spending time with her people.

Amber does have rhinitis, which means she has some chronic inflammation in her nose and sinuses. Because of that, she may have occasional nasal discharge, sneezing, or sound a little stuffy at times. It doesnโ€™t stop her from enjoying life, and sheโ€™s still the same happy, loving girl looking for a family to call her own.

Amber can be selective about her canine friends, so if you already have a dog at home, weโ€™d recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet to see if theyโ€™re a good match.

If you like peaceful strolls, poolside relaxation, and quality time, Amber is ready to report for duty.

There are currently four adorable puppies at the shelter, and theyโ€™re accepting applications for full-time cuddle providers. โค๏ธ

A couple are still a little timid, but all they really need is a patient home and a chance to shine.

If you stop by, make sure to ask to see them! Theyโ€™re kept in a separate area to help protect their young immune systems, so you wonโ€™t find them in the regular kennel lineup.

Meet them today!
